Mr Bond’s Studio: Port Adelaide Through the Lens

Galleries, Museums and Collections

Mr Bond’s Studio: Port Adelaide Through the Lens showcases some of the 2,000 glass plate negatives that were discovered on the old premises of Bond’s St Vincent Street studio. Spanning the 1900s to the 1940s, the portraits are an evolving snapshot of the people of the Port and the events that shaped their community. Subjects include children, sailors, soldiers, brides, graduates, sporting heroes, dance troupes, and even some nuns!

Within the exhibition explore some of the stories that lie behind the glass and discover a different side to Port Adelaide’s past. Make sure to take your own portrait in their re-creation of Mr Bond’s Studio before you leave!
